HAR §12-57-4. Complaints under or related to section 396-8(e), HRS

A person or employer is prohibited from discharging or otherwise discriminating against any employee who: (a) Makes a request for an inspection of the worksite; (b) Makes a complaint in good faith to the employer relating to occupational safety and health matters; or (c) Makes a complaint relating to conditions at the workplace to another federal, state, or local agency which has the authority to regulate or §12-57 3 investigate occupational safety and health conditions. For purposes of this section, an employee need not directly institute the proceeding in order to obtain the protection provided by section 396-8(e), HRS. It is sufficient if the employee sets into motion activities of others which result in proceedings under or related to the law. [Eff 7/6/98] (Auth: HRS §396-4) (Imp: HRS §396-8)
